unrooting - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there any way of unrooting the galaxy note 3 and resetting knox completely to stock?

Questions belong in the QA section.
Yes you can unroot.
No you cannot reset Knox back to 0x0
Are you sure you tripped knox?

not sure but i took the phone to samsung mobile at bestbuy and when they plugged it in to there system it shows i had been rooted even after unrooting. do i really have to hard reset after the unrooting process i never flashed to any roms

Your flash counter must have been tripped.
You will need to reroot and use triangle away to reset it. Then unroot and restore back to stock if possible. There is a guide in the general section.
The 2 rooting methods I know of do not trip knox.

Q: GN3 N900A/T/V/W, 900, 9005, xxUB/C/D...

I have a rooted SM-N900A and am confused about the compatibility of my device and available ROMs and other flashware out there. A matrix would really help, because I see GN3 goodies on XDA and don't want to flash the wrong thing. Not a lot targeted for 900A specifically.
Obvious to me are the ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon labels. I know I am ATT variant, US, snapdragon, android 4.3, build N900AUCUBMI9.
What I don't know is how code for 900/9005/MJ7/MJ3/MJ6/MJ8/MI7 might affect my MI9. Which are most likely to be compatible with my hardware? And which will most likely brick me?
Regardless if I flash (not sure I'm ready to set Knox 0x1), can someone please recommend a VARIANT COMPATIBILITY GUIDE I can cross-reference? Sticky anywhere? Its not just ROMs, its so I can better follow GN3 threads in general. Thanks!

You can't flash any roms, we have a locked bootloader

I'm pretty sure it can be done using Odin, but it would absolutely void my warranty by tripping Knox flag to 0x1.
Anyone seen a compatibility matrix across variants?

Like stated previously, you can't flash any roms because we have a locked bootloader. Safestrap has been achieved for the Verizon note 3 (also locked bootloader). They're working on our phone...

Go ahead try with Odin. Don't listen to what other people said and then make a post as to why you bricked your phone or why it's all messed up.

Doing a factory reset and keeping root

I have a rooted Note 3 and was wondering is it possible to do a factory reset and keep root? I am considering selling my note so I want the phone to be completely wiped of my personal information but have it retain root as I think that will help the resale. I have not flashed roms I am still using stock but am using things like xsposed installer. Thanks.

Yes...... You should keep root! I personally have factory reset my device a few times and never lost root!

[Q] Noob Question.

So, i rooted my phones and my friends phones with towelroot. I rebooted my phone a few times afterwards and i did not have the custom logo. Well i rebooted my phone recently and i now have the custom logo, if i flash my phone back to "stock" would it get rid of the custom logo? Just wanted to know my options.

Use triangle away. It will remove it without losing root. Flashing stock will also remove it at the expense of losing root.

Sorry about that, but thanks for the help, i didnt know if triangle away still did what it was supposed to do. Device is acting funky so i have to warranty it.

Thanks for the new piece of info, bro. Never thought that triangle away actually works with our phone anymore.

If I root using ping pong and then install twrp recovery with flashify will it trip k

Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, installing any recovery other than stock will trip the Knox counter. Rooting with Ping Pong root will not trip Knox/
Question here... Am I guaranteed to be exempt from the deep sleep issue if I root via PingPong?

[Q] Root

Just bricked my Sprint S6, and switched to TMO. Is there a method to rooting this phone that does not trip KNOX? Also is there a safe way to root the new software update....?
Thanks in advance
If you're still on 5.0.2 you can use Ping Pong. I believe that if you're on 5.1.1 you're going to trip Knox whatever you do (for now).
